"Comrade Wen Ruan, please wait a moment. Are you free for a moment?" Wen Ruan had just come out of the library when a voice called her from behind.
Zhao Xiaoyan's three roommates from the Foreign Languages Department all went to class. She called home and wondered what Dong Ya had been busy with these past few days, as she returned to the dormitory very late every day. Today, she was the only one left at the library.
Wen Ruan turned around and saw Zhao Xiaogang, their class monitor.
"What's wrong, class monitor? Is there something you need?" Wen Ruan asked, puzzled.
Tomorrow there are two very important core courses in her major, and the teachers are very strict. In the previous classes, Wen Ruan was called on to answer questions almost every time. She plans to finish these courses in the next month.
So time was very tight for her, but seeing that the cafeteria seemed to be closing soon, she hurriedly left the library to fill her stomach first and then go back to continue. So she gestured for Zhao Xiaogang to walk and talk with her.
Looking at Wen Ruan's fair and delicate face and clear, bright eyes, Zhao Xiaogang couldn't help but blush. He had been a very talkative and humorous person during the election, but now he was stammering and couldn't say a word for a long time.
After waiting patiently for a while, he finally said, "We don't have class tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to go boating in the park with me? You... don't misunderstand, there are other people..." Zhao Xiaogang's face turned a little red.
Wen Ruan was a little confused, wondering why he had suddenly invited her. In the two weeks since the start of the semester, both the school and the class had held various activities, but due to their studies, everyone except Wu Wenqian had declined.
Wen Ruan turned to the side, wanting to refuse, but she happened to walk on an uneven cobblestone path. Wen Ruan suddenly tripped over a stone on the ground and was about to fall when Zhao Xiaogang quickly caught her hand.
The girl's hands were gentle, delicate, smooth, and soft, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on hers.
Wen Ruan was startled by the near fall she had just experienced: "Thank you, class monitor. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen."
Unbeknownst to Wen Ruan, this scene was witnessed by Song Yan, who was rushing to Tsinghua University after get off work...
The girl looked at the sunny young man in front of her with her eyes crinkling, and he was holding her hand tightly.
The scene provokes Song Yan so much that his eyes turn red, a hint of violent emotion flashing in them, and all the muscles in his body tense up.
He struggled to tear his gaze away from their tightly clasped hands. In an instant, the longing he had felt for her, which had been overwhelming, was replaced by an endless, dull ache.
At this moment, Song Yan was like a raging lion, but he kept suppressing himself in his heart: "There are other people around, I can't go forward now, it will have a bad influence on Ruan Ruan."
But his eyes were unconsciously fixed on the two people's clasped hands. Finally, when Song Yan could no longer suppress his violent emotions and was about to step forward regardless of everything else,
Wen Ruan frowned, feeling her hand being tightly gripped. She quickly pulled her hand away and took a few steps back. "Class monitor, thank you very much for the invitation, but I'm really sorry, I've already made plans with my roommate to continue studying at the library."
"So, I'm sorry." Wen Ruan nodded and then turned to leave.
"Wait a minute, Comrade Wen Ruan, I...I..." Zhao Xiaogang stammered, his words coming out in fits and starts.
Wen Ruan felt a little irritated and impatient, and frowned: "Comrade Zhao, what else do you want to say?" Wen Ruan asked him directly.
Zhao Xiaogang took a deep breath and said, "Wen Ruan, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Zhao Xiaogang finally held his breath and quickly finished speaking. Afterwards, he stared intently at Wen Ruan's face, his heart pounding with nervousness.
He fell in love with Wen Ruan at first sight during the first class meeting of the new semester. Especially in the last two weeks, he realized how outstanding Wen Ruan was and liked her even more. He had been thinking about confessing his feelings to her and hoped that Wen Ruan could be his girlfriend.
Wen Ruan looked at the nervous young man in front of her, pursed her lips, and said directly, "I'm sorry, I'm married."
Seeing Zhao Xiaogang's disappointed expression, Wen Ruan apologized again and prepared to turn and leave once more.
At that moment, Song Yan strode forward. Wen Ruan saw him instantly, and her face lit up with great joy, as if her whole face had been illuminated. She quickly ran towards Song Yan.
Zhao Xiaogang noticed Wen Ruan's surprised expression and actions, and they looked in the direction she was looking.
There stood a tall man with a resolute and decisive look in his eyes, who seemed like a reliable and trustworthy man. However, the cold aura emanating from him was so intense that people dared not look at him for long.
Song Yan had just overheard the conversation between the two and heard Zhao Xiaogang's confession. He wanted to rush over immediately, but fortunately, Wen Ruan's rejection was very quick.
Later, as reason returned, I realized that something must have happened just now, which I happened to see, and that there was some misunderstanding.
Furthermore, Wen Ruan's face lit up with joy and delight upon seeing him, instantly melting away the chill emanating from Song Yan...
"Song Yan, what brings you here today?" Wen Ruan rushed over, almost throwing herself into Song Yan's arms.
Seeing this from behind, Zhao Xiaogang felt a pang of bitterness: "This is probably the husband she was talking about..."
Song Yan quickly took a few steps forward and caught Wen Ruan as she rushed towards him, a gentle smile on his face.
"I got off work and thought I'd come to the school to see you. I missed you," Song Yan said frankly and openly.
Wen Ruan blushed, looking embarrassed.
"Just came from the library?" Song Yan asked, seeing that Wen Ruan was still holding some books. He reached out and took them from her.
"Yeah, I just came out and am going to the cafeteria for lunch," Wen Ruan said in a sweet and innocent tone.
“Let’s go together. I just got off work and came straight to the school. It’s been years since I’ve had Tsinghua University’s food. Let’s go and see if the taste has changed.”
"Okay, let's go eat stir-fry together. The cafeteria lady at that window is super nice..." The two walked further and further away, heading towards the cafeteria.
Zhao Xiaogang was left alone, staring blankly at the two figures walking away hand in hand.
Just as the two were about to turn the corner, and Zhao Xiaogang could no longer see them from behind, he suddenly saw Song Yan turn around, staring intently into his eyes with a cold glint in them.
Zhao Xiaogang felt as if he had been frozen, and couldn't help but shiver...
